Description
For demanding measurement tasks
The model LH-10 submersible pressure transmitter has been
designed for level measurement in contact with the medium
in harsh operating conditions. It oers an accuracy of 0.25 %
and, with an ingress protection of IP 68, is suitable for permanent level measurements up to 984 ft. (300 m) water column.
It oers excellent quality, is reliable and, through a multitude
of options, can be used in all conventional level measurement applications. For instance, integrated temperature
measurement, lightning protection, a Hastelloy
cable are available as options.

Robust and reliable
A hermetically-sealed, fully-welded and exceptionally robust
stainless steel case ensures a long service life and permanent sealing.
Specically for external applications, integrated lightning
protection is available, in order to ensure a maximum
operating life in harsh environments.
For the highest media resistance, this submersible pressure
transmitter is available in an optional design out of Hastelloy
and high-resistance FEP cable.
with FEP cable
For the highest accuracy requirements, the optional tempera-
ture measurement enables the compensation of temperature
uctuations in the medium on the measuring result.

DescriptionOrder number
Cable strain relief clamp
The cable strain relief clamp enables easy and secure mechanical fastening of the submersible pressure transmitter's cable at the measuring point. It acts as a guide for the cable, in order
to avoid mechanical damage and to reduce the tensile stress.
Additional weight
The additional weight increases the dead weight of the submersible pressure transmitter.
It simplies the lowering into monitoring wells, narrow shafts and deep wells. It eectively
reduces negative environmental inuences on the measuring result from the measured
medium (e.g. turbulent ow).
Stainless steel 316L, approx. 500 g, length (L) 130 mm
Terminal box
The terminal box, with IP 67 ingress protection and watertight ventilation element, provides
a moisture-free electrical termination for the submersible pressure transmitter. It should be
mounted in dry environment or directly in the switch cabinet.
Filter element
The lter element prevents dirt and moisture from entering the venting tube. The watertight
diaphragm also oers a reliable protection for the submersible pressure transmitter.
